    I’m new here, this seems like the right place to post this? If not, I’m sorry, feel free to move it.

    Ok, so long story short. I carry a few tools in my Work/EDC/GHB. Among those tools are a 6″ adjustable wrench and 6″ slip joint pliers.
    I’m ready to upgrade.
    I’m getting the Knipex 150 Pliers Wrench. That’s a given, and that takes care of the adjustable wrench.
    Now the slip joints. I have liked the slip joints, ok. I have missed a good set of wire cutters, occasionally. I really don’t want to increase the number of tools I carry, and 6-1/4″ is about the nominal maximum length for my 6-1/2″ tool pouches.
    Now the questions:

    -Should I keep it simple and just get the Knipex 160 Combination Pliers. I rarely if ever need needle nose, and these are pretty versatile. Plus I avoid falling into the trap of carrying to much crap.

    -Or, get the Knipex 150 Cobra Pliers and the 160 Chain Nose Pliers. This is one more tool than I want, but I can make it fit. I really like the idea of the Cobra, but money IS an object.

    Any thoughts, experience? These are the only tools and sizes I’m considering.

    Thanks!
